Infosys Technologies has announced a multi-year agreement with Canadian Pacific (CP) to provide Modular Global Sourcing services for its information technology organisation, Business and Information Technology Services (BITS). 

"After evaluating several options, we selected Infosys because its flexible, scalable solutions and expertise delivering IT services globally best fit our current and future IT needs," said Kathryn McQuade, executive VP and COO , Canadian Pacific. "In the world of closely-tracked, highly-accurate railway transportation, there is no room for error. We are confident that Infosys will provide the technology that continues to meet the guidelines of this industry, while also supporting our business strategy and vision for growth."

The five-year agreement will focus largely on the application development, management and maintenance of CP's railway operations.  BITS will be utilising Infosys' CMM Level 5 capabilities, which will deliver the differentiated IT sourcing solutions that meet the specific accuracy requirements for CP's control hub's mission critical applications and train control operations.

According to Paddy Rao, head of Canada Integrated Business Unit at Infosys,  "We look forward to working with BITS to develop an IT support structure that delivers the solutions and services that meet the ever-demanding requirements of railway transportation."
